Out in Albufeira, there are several easily accessible and beautiful beaches to choose from or try them all!

Location

Sao Rafael Atlantico is located on Portugal’s southern coast. It sits approximately 50km from Faro International Airport. There are a number of great beaches to be discovered with just a 10km radius such as Arrifes Beach, Sao Rafael Beach and Albufeira Beach. You will find several restaurants and bars within walking distance from the hotel itself, however, the main hub for dining can be found about 5km east of the hotel. Similarly, there are many places to shop from food shopping at Lidl and Intermarche just 3km and 2km away respectively to retail shopping at Worten – Albufeira, which is 4km away.

Room Types

Sao Rafael Atlantico consists of 149 well-appointed and decorated rooms. All of which have carefully designed interiors to maximise the Portuguese light with well-balanced colour schemes. There are a variety of room types to choose from. A village room, for instance, reflects a standard experience featuring a double or twin bed with views over the resort. A Garden Room provides magnificent views over the hotel’s lush sub-tropical gardens whilst an Atlantic Room delivers stunning views over the glistening sea. All rooms feature with a terrace or private balcony and come equipped with all the standard amenities you’d expect of a modern hotel such as a safe deposit box

Food and Drink

Sao Rafael Atlantico offers guests several excellent dining experiences. There are two beautifully decorated main restaurants, The Seven Seas, which serves a daily evening buffet and the Mediterranean restaurant, which offers guests choices from across the world as well as more traditional Portuguese fare as an a la carte menu. In the morning take a trip to the Beach restaurant where you can enjoy magnificent views over the Mediterranean Sea whilst you start the day with a great breakfast spread. Outside of the restaurant, guests can take their pick from a range of top restaurants such as tasty curries at Indian Night’s Indian Restaurant and Clay Oven, fine seafood dishes at Dom Capito and Italian favourites to be enjoyed at the Italian Republic.

Sports, Games and Entertainment

You will be able to relax at Sao Rafael Atlantico’s sun terrace or take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool. There is also a dedicated pool just for children to splash around and cool off in. Sao Rafael Atlantico also offers a spa service where you can grab a facial or body treatment as well as massage, Turkish bath, sauna and more. Those who love to go golfing will find the nearest Gold course 6km away at Salgados Golf. Of course, you’ll probably want to spend some time down at the beach so head to Arrifes Beach or Sao Rafael Beach, the latter of which offers a magnificent cliff backdrop.

Lose yourself in the beauty of nature with a trip to one of the island’s natural parks. Head for the dizzy heights of the cliffs of Formentor, or the S’Albufera marshlands if your passion is spotting birds and wildlife, or explore the remote Cala Mondrago Natural Park in the south of the island, home to lizards, eagles and spectacular scenery. Cool down on its beautiful, unspoilt beach or explore the sand dunes.

Happy First 3rd Time

I have visited Sao Rafael Atlantico 3times running every year, all booked via teletext for a great value than anywhere else online. Hotel and facilities are truly 5*. Food in the a La Carte restaurant is amazing however 3/5 for the buffet dinners. Choices are there but I would try and not rely on every evening. Best option is b&b then venture into old town/new towns the beach etc for dinners
